About the Show
Ventriloquist. Children’s entertainer. Psychologist. Activist. Susan Linn’s astonishing career has taken her from the set of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood to the front page of the New York Times. Through it all, Audrey Duck, her ageless avian sidekick, has provided cheeky, occasionally neurotic, always truthful commentary. Now, while Susan ponders mortality and grapples with the world’s uncertain future, Audrey’s convinced their dynamic duo will last forever.
Join Susan and Audrey as they unravel their tangled past and tackle important questions of life, death, art, and the universe. Part stand-up comedy, part philosophical musing on the human condition, WHAT THE DUCK?!? is the hilarious, honest, and deeply edifying evening of entertainment you didn’t know you needed.
Recommended for adults and teens.
